It sure does - I've built a number of conference sites with PW. So far only information sites, but one of my clients organises several conferences per year and has requested a more sophisticated tool that will serve as a kind of Eventbrite replacement. Looking forward to scoping that out and working on it next year.

It's a bit scary submitting an edit form with data you know is out of date, but you're right that it doesn't save the data if it's unchanged. So that's a good solution, thanks!

I've just been looking at that, thanks. Bummer that it can no longer be easily loaded as a PW page or Process module though:

This is something that has been bugging me for ages and I'm hoping somebody knows a simple trick I'm missing. I am viewing a table in phpMyAdmin - in this case the "fields" table: I want to take a closer look at the data column in the link_url row, so I open the row for editing via the "Edit" link: Now in the PW admin I make some changes to the link_url field settings, and want to check the results in the table row. So I want to reload the edit row view to see the changes... but the URL that phpMyAdmin uses for this view is http://localhost/phpmyadmin/tbl_row_action.php - there's nothing specific to the currently edited row in the URL, and when I refresh the page I am sent back to the phpMyAdmin landing page. I figure there has got to be some way to refresh the edit row view without this happening - isn't refreshing a view like this a really common need? Maybe there is some button in the interface that reloads the edit view that I am missing? Any tips much appreciated. P.S. I know I can show non-truncated column values in the table view and also edit column values in the table view, but the interface is much more crowded and busy here than it is in the edit row view, so it's not a great substitute.

It's working here:

I could reproduce this locally too with DatetimeAdvanced v1.0.0, PW 3.0.115, PHP 7.1. It seems that when a new page is created (after the first step of Add Page) the field gets a value of 0000-00-00 00:00:00 in the database. This gets converted to timestamp -62170025400 which then does not pass the conditional that sets the inputfield value to the current date/time. In contrast, the core Datetime field does not set a value in the database until one is saved. DatetimeAdvanced: Datetime:

@ryan, I'm sure it's just a temporary glitch relating to the ongoing work you're doing on the docs, but I notice that many methods are showing "@since 3.0.110" when they have been around much longer than that. Example: https://processwire.com/api/ref/inputfield/

This one? https://processwire.com/videos/overview/ Love that video. It was my first contact with PW and after seeing it I was sold.

@BitPoet, what do you think about changing from SQL timezone support being a strict requirement for installation to it being a strong suggestion? My shared hosting server doesn't have timezone data but if I comment out the WireException in the install() method then things seem to work okay. The field values are saved with the correct date and time in the database and I can match pages as expected. Not sure if that means that the server's SQL and PHP are set to the same timezone (not sure how to test that). The only issue I noticed is that with the "Default to today's date?" option selected in the field config the field shows an invalid date before a date has been entered: Would that be due to the missing timezone support?

$all_match = true; foreach($items as $p) { $pp = $this->pages->get($p->product_id); if($pp instanceof RepeaterPage) $pp = $pp->getForPage(); if($pp->my_field != '3') { $all_match = false; break; } } // do something according to the value of $all_match

Ryan, you're an absolute champ for grinding away on the documentation. We all know it's a developer's favourite task. But seriously, thank you.

What @elabx said. And... ...is that intended to be a sub-selector? If so you need to use square brackets. $query .= 'guests=[party_guests>=1, party_guests<51], ';

In the getSelectablePages() hook $event->arguments('page') is the page being edited, but that is not so useful in your case because what you want is the Repeater page that contains the two Page Reference fields. Give this a try: $wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldPage::getSelectablePages', function(HookEvent $event) { if($event->object->hasField == 'people') { $inputfield = $event->object; $repeater_page = $inputfield->hasPage; if($repeater_page->team && $repeater_page->team->id) { $event->return = $event->pages->find("template=user, team=$repeater_page->team"); } } }); Note that if the user changes the selection for the team field they will need to save the page before the selectable options for the people field will update.

How about getting the url-segments/page-num/get-vars suffix and then appending that to $page->localUrl? $url_suffix = str_replace($page->url, '', $input->url(true)); $redirect_url = $page->localUrl() . $url_suffix;

Hi Adrian - is the gap between the dump heading and the dump output deliberate? I think it would look better without a gap.

Not easy using the core Datetime field type alone AFAIK. The DatetimeAdvanced module by @BitPoet supports querying by month, but see the notes about timezone support in the module readme. An alternative would be to add a hidden integer field to the template and save the month number to that in a saveReady hook, then use that field in your selector.

Really great tutorial, thanks! Might be worth noting that a minimum of PHP 7.1 is required for the code syntax used.

It's working for me here... <?php namespace ProcessWire; class TestModule extends WireData implements Module { public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => "Test Module", 'version' => 1, 'autoload' => true, ); } public function init() { $this->addHookAfter('Pagefile::url', function(HookEvent $event) { if(!$event->object instanceof Pagefile) { return; } $file = $event->object; $fileBasename = $file->basename; $event->return = $fileBasename . '?lorem=ipsum'; }); $this->pages->addHookAfter('save', function(HookEvent $event) { $page = $event->arguments(0); if($page->hasField('image')) { // Output formatting will probably be off, but get unformatted value to be sure $pageimages = $page->getUnformatted('image'); // Get first image URL $url = $pageimages->first()->url; // Dump URL with Tracy Debugger bd($url, 'url'); } }); } } You shouldn't use $this as the second argument to addHookAfter() if your hook function is a closure, but I'm guessing that is just an error in the demo code you posted and not in your actual module. Your issue might be due to output formatting being off in the Pages::save() hook which means an Images field will return a Pageimages object which doesn't have a URL property. So if the field holds only a single Pageimage you would get that with first().

FYI, you can set the age the temp directory lives for with the maxAge option: $files->tempDir('RockPdf', ['maxAge' => 600]); // or $files->tempDir('RockPdf', 600);

Yes, that's what the code in my previous post is for. There's no foreach loop involved. Did you try it? That code provides a way of working out the position of any page relative to a set of pages it is a part of. When you put the code in the template file of a restaurant location page then the page is represented by the API variable $page. If you want to use it in some other template file (e.g. your account template) then you would substitute $page with $p where $p is a restaurant location page.

I understand now. There are a couple of ways you could do this - a simpler way and a more performant way. In the demo code below my selector is for sorting news items by title - you would adjust the selector as needed to find your restaurants. This code would go in the template file for your restaurant location template. 1. Simpler way: probably fine if there is not a huge number of matched pages // Function to get number plus ordinal suffix function ordinal($number) { $suffixes = ['th','st','nd','rd','th','th','th','th','th','th']; if(($number % 100) >= 11 && ($number % 100) <= 13) { return $number. 'th'; } else { return $number. $suffixes[$number % 10]; } } // Define the selector that finds your pages $selector = "template=news_item, sort=title"; // Get all the matched pages $items = $pages->find($selector); $position = $items->getItemKey($page) + 1; // add 1 to adjust for zero index $position_str = ordinal($position); // the position with ordinal suffix echo "This is the $position_str item."; 2. More performant way: if there are a large number of matched pages you can use an SQL query which avoids the overhead of loading all the pages First work out the SQL query for matching your pages: $query = $pages->getPageFinder()->find(new Selectors($selector), ['returnQuery' => true])->getQuery(); bdb($query); // Use Tracy barDumpBig() to dump the SQL query Now tweak the query a bit because you only need the IDs of the matched pages. The finished example for my sorted news items is below: $sql = "SELECT pages.id FROM `pages` LEFT JOIN field_title AS _sort_title ON _sort_title.pages_id=pages.id WHERE (pages.templates_id=45) AND (pages.status<1024) ORDER BY _sort_title.data"; $query = $database->query($sql); // Get the IDs in an array, flipped so the ID is the key and the position is the value $results = array_flip($query->fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_COLUMN)); $position = $results[$page->id] + 1; // add 1 to adjust for zero index $position_str = ordinal($position); // the position with ordinal suffix echo "This is the $position_str item."; Credits: 1, 2, 3

Everyone has their own strategies for this sort of thing. Some people like to use modules for site settings and just deal with the limitations around inputfield types. There are a couple of existing settings modules you could study: https://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-general-settings/ https://modules.processwire.com/modules/settings-factory/ Personally I have a custom site profile (generated via Site Profile Exporter) that I use as the starting point for every new project, that has all the fields/templates/pages/modules that I tend to use in every project.

I don't understand the question - perhaps you can clarify more... How are you measuring and storing the popularity score? Some sort of "likes" system? If the popularity is per location rather that per restaurant brand then you'll need some kind of entry (page most likely, but technically it could be something like a Profields Table row also) for each restaurant location. Let's say it's a page, and it uses template "restaurant_location". Each restaurant location page is a child of the restaurant brand (or the restaurant locations could be under a separate parent and use a Page Reference field to link them with a restaurant brand - with PW there is always lots of flexibility to set things up in a way that suits you). Template restaurant_location has a Page Reference field for location that selects from the City pages, and a "popularity_score" integer field that gets incremented every time someone "likes" it. The listing page for each city gets all restaurant locations relating to that city sorted by popularity_score.

Module config settings are stored as a JSON string in a single field in the database. Module config fields don't store data in separate tables as per the fieldtypes you might be used to from using fields in a template. So certain core inputfields that need special support from a fieldtype to store their data can't be used in module configs: Files, Images, Repeater, PageTable, maybe a few more. BTW, personally I would use a standard page/template to store site settings rather than a module config for just this reason.

Those are some sweet updates Ryan! Seeing as you've been working on transferring the blog posts over to the new processwire.com site, do you think you could add a feature so that blog posts automatically get anchors on every <h3>? There could be an automatic table of contents from those anchors if you think that would be good, but having anchors is the main thing. Because there is so much useful documentation of features within the blog I often want to save references to specific sections within a blog post, or provide a link to a section in a forum reply. Having heading anchors would make it possible to do this.
